Chapter 144: Retreat at the Peak
"Chengzhi! Don't bother with them, help me take down the Hundred Refining Cauldron first!" Ever since the secret book that Xiang Wuqing took out was also priced at 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones by Chi Lianxia, Wan Dongyao's face has not been very good. Although she has other tools in her hands, does Xiang Wuqing have nothing else in his hands? Now when she saw Lu Chengzhi, Wan Dongyao urged: "Chengzhi, if you can successfully take down the Hundred Refining Cauldron this time, it will be considered that you have made a great contribution to the Demon Shadow Sect, and it is also a good token of your loyalty!"
"This..., I understand!"
Lu Chengzhi is also a person who can take it or leave it. In addition, he privately believes that the Demon Shadow Sect will definitely take over the Five Elements Sect. Just like Wan Dongyao said, instead of waiting for the Demon Shadow Sect to gain power in the future, it is better to help now!
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chengfeng took out all the valuable things in his storage bag and sent them to Wan Dongyao one by one.
Wan Dongyao was just talking casually. After all, Lu Chengzhi was not sent by the sect to participate in the auction, and she did not think about how much Lu Chengzhi could bring out. But after carefully looking at the artifacts Lu Chengzhi brought up, Wan Dongyao was shocked: these things alone are no less valuable than the ones in her storage bag.
Moreover, with Lu Chengzhi's character, how could he bring out everything!
Although the Five Elements Sect has declined, it is an old sect after all, and its foundation is beyond the imagination of our Demon Shadow Sect! If it were not for the death of my uncle and the serious injury of my uncle, I am afraid that the Demon Shadow Sect would not have gotten this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
How could Wan Dongyao know: Lu Chengzhi did not bring out much of his own things, and most of them were public property taken out from the secret library of Jinxiao Peak!
But in this way, Wan Dongyao's confidence in bidding for Bailian Ding doubled, and she immediately took out three artifacts and sent them to Chi Lianxia for appraisal. As soon as Wan Dongyao made a move, Xiang Wuqing naturally followed suit and hurriedly sent new artifacts. In this way, the two sides exchanged objects, and in just a moment, two piles of artifacts were piled up on the horizontal table in front of Chi Lianxia, which were presented by the two major sects. Of course, among the spiritual objects produced by the Demon Shadow Sect, many were contributed by Lu Chengzhi, which is not known to outsiders.
"Humph! The Demon Shadow Sect can actually fight against the Falling Flower Valley on equal terms, which is really rare! I don’t know how much effort our Senior Brother Lu has put in. This is openly helping the enemy..." Xiao Mian's words made Huangfu Ling look ugly, but before she could say anything, Xiao Mian changed the subject: "Senior Sister, get ready, we should leave!"
"Leave? Now?"
"Yes! Now!"
"Don't we need to see who gets the Bailian Ding in the end?"
"No need! Since we have confirmed that there is no chance of getting the Bailian Ding, then whether it is the Falling Flower Valley or the Demon Shadow Sect, It has nothing to do with us! Why don't we take advantage of the fact that everyone is attracted by the last madness of the auction and run away! As for who will win the Bailian Ding, we will know it later! "
"..., Junior Brother is right! The white jade flying pendant that Junior Brother won before has attracted the attention of many people. If we wait for them to recover, I am afraid that we will not be safe even in the market. It is better to run away as Junior Brother said!"
The two of them made a plan and left the Ya Pavilion and Lingchuan without any delay. During the auction, Lingchuan was allowed to leave but not enter, but it did not prevent them from leaving.
The sudden departure of the two did not attract much attention. After all, most people's attention was still on the increasingly fierce bidding. But some monks who had been paying attention to Xiao Mian's whereabouts found clues. Those people were either whispering to each other or mumbling in silence. After a moment, three people got up and chased out of Lingchuan.
At this time, Lu Chengzhi's face changed constantly, and he finally stuffed all the things on hand to Wan Dongyao, and followed closely. Wan Dongyao looked at the things in her hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was that boy surnamed Xiao really that important, or was she not important enough in his mind? In any case, with the help of these things, her chances of taking the Bailian Ding have greatly increased. After finishing things here, she should rush to meet him quickly to avoid any accidents.
Alas...
He may not have me in his heart, but I can't be without him in my heart!
As for Xiang Wuqing, when he saw Xiao Mian and Lu Chengzhi leave one after another, his expression changed, and then he returned to normal as if it had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, Chi Lianxia looked a little ugly after seeing several people follow Xiao Mian away, but she could do nothing about it. The sophisticated Chi Lianxia naturally knew what those people were doing, but if they left the market, it would not be her Chi Lianxia and Lingchuan Market's responsibility.
I just hope that nothing will happen to the young man who knows the fat guy!
No matter what, the auction will continue; no matter what, Xiao Mian and Huangfu Ling still left Lingchuan Market.
A hundred miles north of the market, Xiao Mian and Huangfu Ling rushed north.
Going north was Xiao Mian's suggestion, because he had lived in the Northern Wilderness Prairie for several years, and Xiao Mian knew the road to the north of Lingchuan Market very well. He knew where along the way was good for ambush, where was good for concealment, where was good for setting up formations, and where was good for fighting. Xiao Mian knew it all. Although the two of them walked in a low-key manner, it was thought that someone must have noticed it, and there might be two or three people who were obsessed with money and followed them out. Besides, even if no one else followed, Xiao Mian felt that his Senior Brother Lu would definitely come.
Such a big net was cast just to make it easier for him to leave the Five Elements Sect. Now it was just one step away. How could Lu Chengzhi give up halfway?
Since he knew that there was a tail behind him, Xiao Mian would not be unprepared. In the past, Xiao Mian spent a lot of time on this road. In a valley not far away, Xiao Mian prepared some back-up plans, which were originally used to prevent the powerful enemies who followed him when he left the market. Now it just came in handy.
"Junior brother, flying all the way with swords is not a good idea! The longer we fly, the more we consume our true energy. By then..."
"Don't worry, senior sister, I have made arrangements a hundred miles ahead. Senior sister will know when the time comes!"
Huangfu Ling was stunned when she heard the words, but seeing Xiao Mian calm and composed, she didn't ask much, but privately thought: How could Junior Brother Xiao make arrangements a hundred miles ahead? Could he be able to predict the future? But when did he come to make arrangements?
In the blink of an eye, a hundred miles had passed.
Xiao Mian lowered the sword light and slowed down until he stopped in front of a cave. Huangfu Ling naturally followed closely behind him, and then saw Xiao Mian take out a black disc from the storage bag. Under the infusion of true energy, the disc turned into a pile of small parts. Under Huangfu Ling's surprised gaze, Xiao Mian put medium-grade spirit stones into the many array plates of the Nine-Curved Sky River Array one by one. This generous move made Huangfu Ling speechless again.
The array plate driven by medium-grade spirit stones is at least a fourth-level array plate - that is a golden elixir-level array, how did Junior Brother Xiao get it?
The most important thing is: what does he want to do! ?
